On Ubuntu 12.04 (32bit, 'server'), after installing puppet 3 (rc3) hiera 1
(rc4) and hiera-puppet (rc2, from source)
These are the steps I took to get hiera/hiera-puppet working:
---
mkdir –p
/etc/puppet/modules/hiera-puppet/lib/{hiera/backend,puppet/parser/functions}
cp /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/hiera/scope.rb
/etc/puppet/modules/hiera-puppet/lib/hiera/
cp /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/hiera/backend/puppet_backend.rb
/etc/puppet/modules/hiera-puppet/lib/hiera/backend/
cp /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/parser/functions/hiera*
/etc/puppet/modules/hiera-puppet/lib/puppet/parser/functions
wget -O /etc/puppet/modules/hiera-puppet/lib/hiera_puppet.rb
https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera-puppet/blob/1.0rc/lib/hiera_puppet.rb
---
At this point, explicit hiera calls will work:
$a_user = hiera('apache_username')
notice("The value is: ${a_user}")
and normal (non explicit hiera usage) parameterized classes IF (AND ONLY
IF) you specify values for all params will work.
# -- Basenode -- #
class { 'basenode':
is_puppet_master => true,
apt_host => 'repo.XXXXX.com'
}
However, param classes with defaults and no (or some) values specified
still fail:
# -- Basenode -- #
class { 'basenode':
is_puppet_master => true,
}

After one successful, partial run I now get the following error when trying
to run puppet:
